+Serializer Benchmark
+====================
+
+Comparing parsing speed/memory usage of all C++ JSON libs I could find. Also including two msgpack implementations (C++/ruby).
+Goal is to output data.edges.last.rule.substr(1, 4).
+Data is fairly large and complex object (a hypergraph representation) with a lot of different types, e.g. strings (ASCII), ints, floats, arrays
+and sub-objects.
+Note that the comparison is unfair for some parsers, as they just do SAX-style parsing and do not actually fill objects
+with data (e.g. the cdec parser).

+Spoiler: sajson and rapidjson are the fastest JSON parsers -- but msgpack is even faster.
